Gennady Timchenko, a co-owner of oil trader Gunvor, plans to create a diversified construction group, a spokesman for the businessman told Interfax.
"The strategic goal is to build a professional group with strong competencies in various areas of construction," he said.
Timchenko told Forbes magazine that he has completed the purchase of a 25 percent stake in ARKS, an infrastructure construction company whose projects include the Lefortovo tunnel on Moscow's Third Ring Road.
This year, firms controlled by Timchenko bought a 25 percent stake in construction company USK Most, which builds railroads, highways, bridges and tunnels. Its most prominent project is the bridge to Russky Island in Vladivostok.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
